WALES strolled through the second of their three games in the European Four Nations tournament, scoring 16 tries against an outclassed Spanish side at Pontypridd last night.

For a healthy 1,000 crowd the game was over as a contest when Wales scored five tries in the first 15 minutes. Strong an direct forwards and quick-passing backs made life miserable for the Spaniards, who trailed 51-3 at the break. The frailty of their tackling saw Spain disappear without trace after the break, as right-wing Chris Clayton (Treorchy) ended up with five tries.

On Saturday Wales need to beat Italy, 32-17 winners over Portugal, to win the tournament for the sixth consecutive time.
